Halp please - engine bogging.
 
Summary-
-On acceleration, the car bogs down horribly (loss of power, vibration, exhaust sounds changes).
-Only happens on full tip-in of throttle - can drive semi normally if only using about 10% throttle.
-When it happens the CEL flashes but then goes back to solid.


Related notes based on searching forum-
-No coolant light, no coolant leakage issues that I know of.
-Cat was replaced with high-flow about a year ago.
-New plugs, wires, and coils in the last 1.5 years.
-ExoticSpeed R1T exhaust, AEM intake with New filter in last year.
-Car has 80k miles, manual trans.

Any help would be really great before Chicago winter comes full force!!:scared:

Get your codes scanned.
Blinking CEL is always misfires.
Misfires kill cats.
Solid CEL is likely a Cat Below Threshold code.
